Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E

Another great Tim O'Brien tune. Done on banjo, transcribed for guitar. Structure is exactly as the song is played. I don't repeat any of the tab work. Once you have chorus/verse section down it's the same for every one. The intro instrumental and verses are almost identical, Tim just emphasizes chords between the vocals for the verses/chorus. Chords are what I felt sounded right.
